Everfree Forest - Level 2

Previous Chapter

Starting from where the two boys last left off, they continue their trip, through the Everfree Forest Level, determined to find some answers on getting back home.

"How much longer do we have to walk through this forest level?" Spike asked.

"I sure wished I had the game guide with me right now," Button frowned. "That would really help us out a lot. All the secrets, all the short cuts, all the ins and outs of every levels are contained in that book."

"Well we don't have the book. Right now, all we need is a map. I'm not so sure if we're even going in the right path," Spike frowned. "Sure wished Twilight was here," Spike whimpered. "She may not look much, but she's one heck of a gamer. You should see her and Sunset playing Grogar's Apocalypse at the arcade."

"Whoa, they actually played that game?" Button asked incredulously.

"Oh yeah," Spike answered, before his ears perked up. "Shh! I hear something."

Both Spike and Button Mash stopped their walks through the woods as they stood still, keeping their ears open, scanning the forest around them. Suddenly, the sound of rustling filled the air and the boys looked to see a nearby bush was shaking.

The boys prepared themselves, ready for whatever could be lurking behind the brushes of leaves. Finally, the creature jumped out of the bush to reveal itself to be a simple white rabbit.

"Aw," The boys cooed, watching as the rabbit bounced away, when a huge monstrous beast jumped out and snatched the rabbit, cueing another fight music. "YIKES!!!" The boys screamed.

Luminous Sword - Sword Art Online

In appearance, the beast appeared to have the man of a lion, the dark furs of a panther, and the the overall body of a bear. The beast turned to face the boys, eyes locking onto them, growling hungrily, as another description tag appeared next to it.

Glawackus: Level 4
Type: Fearsome critter a.k.a. the Northern Devil Cat.
HP: 20/20
Attack: 6
Defense: 1
Description: Part bear, part panther, part lion. Oh my! Dogs are its favorite meal.

The Glawackus looked at Spike, and licked its chops hungrily for the dog, "Ruh roh," Spike whimpered.

With a loud screech that sounded like that of a bloodcurdling tiger's roar mixed with a hyena's cackle, the Glawackus pounced at lightning speed, slashing its strong sharp claws at Spike, who quickly rolled out of harms way and quickly yipped away in fright.

Button Mash plunged his pickaxe into the Glawackus's hide, but it only made the big cat angry as it thrusted its arms at the boy, shoving him off, into a tree. Button caught a glimpse of its HP and saw that his attack only dealt merely two damages to the beast. The Glawackus pounced forward, pinning Button Mash, crushing the boy under its heavy weight with its mighty paws.

"AAAHH!!!" Button screamed. "Spike help! It's crushing me!"

With a loud bark, Spike came running back and bit the devil cat by the leg, causing it to screech in pain, before it turned its head and snapped its jaws at the little purple dog. At first, Spike bits harder into the cat's leg, determined to cling on for dear life, while trying his best to avoid the sharp teeth form the Glawackus's mouth. In the meantime, Button Mash got himself patched up with another healing potion he kept in his satchel, before he picked up his pickaxe and furiously slashed his weapon at the devil cat.

Taking a chance to check on the beast's HP, Button Mash saw their combined assault have only made it go down to 14/20.

"What will it take to beat this thing?" Button asked.

The devil cat continues its furious struggle to rip Spike off of its leg, but the dog continues to hold on with all his might. Suddenly, the wolf head Spike was wearing started to glow, and the holographic outline of a wolf's head was formed around Spike and it too sank its fangs into the Glawackus, dealing -5 damages.

"Whoa!" Button exclaimed. "Spike! You're whaling it!"

"I am?" Spike asked, before he was successfully thrown off.

The Glawackus snarled as it viciously advanced upon the little dog, "Quick! Go werewolf on it! It's the only chance you've got!"

Spike looked at himself, seeing he only has boots of a wolf's paw, "How do I do that?" Spike asked.

"I don't know. Try pretending you're a wolf and you'll become a wolf, I guess. Just do it. Trust me."

Hesitant at first, Spike complied, 'Think wolf. Think wolf,' Spike repeated mentally.

The Glawackus pounced after Spike, ready to bit the little dog down. Button looked away. Then, a flash of light occurred, beckoning the berserker boy to look up and see his dog friend had transfigured himself into a huge white wolf.

With a snarl, the wolf forced the Glawackus off, before it jumped on the devil cat's back, and bites hard, dealing a damage of -6. The Glawackus howled in pain, before it whipped its tail, snaring Spike and throwing the dog-turned-wolf off, throwing him into a tree. Spike quickly recovered as he dives under the Glawackus before it could pin him down, and Button Mash lunged forward to land a final blow, dealing -3 damages, killing the Glawackus as it disappears into a thousand data bits.

To celebrate their victory over the devil cat, Spike looked up to the sky and howled victoriously, before he reverted back to being Spike.

"Wow, Spike!" Button Mash smiled, bending down to pet the dog. "You did it! You were amazing!"

"No Button," Spike replied. "We did it!" Then, the two boys looked over to see where the Glawackus once stood, to see an item has been dropped.

Walking over to investigate, the boys could see that it was called a Glawackus Claw.

You Got The Glawackus Claw!!

After the victory text was spoken, the said item was stored away in Button Mash's satchel, and the boys were on their way. However, the boys hadn't gone far when they encountered another beast, with another description tag to describe it.

Timberwolf: Level 4
Type: Woodland Dog Spirit
HP: 15/15
Attack: 5
Defense: 0
Description: Mess with one, beware the pack!

Spike and Button Mash looked to each other, nodding their heads, knowing what they needed to do. With loud shouts of determinations, the boys lunged towards the timberwolf and quickly reduced it to piles of twigs, before several more were spawn, beckoning the boys to fight more, gaining more experience points, and collecting more items that have been dropped. The boys kept this up before they reached their next checkpoint, where they saved their progress, until the next chapter of their adventure.
